Stopped in for a flight and lunch. I wish they’d let you pick your own flavors in the flight, but that wasn’t enough to detract from the experience. Great service, good drinks, and creative food options. Loved the elote tacos!

Delicous food with lots of gluten free options, super friendly and attentive staff. All the ciders are amazing, try the flights. Great for sharing so you can try them all. Dog friendly patio, even bring out a water bowl!

The cider is to die for!!! I absolutely love cider and not being from VT, I was shocked at how amazing the cider was. I ordered the flight (I wanted to try multiple ciders lol) and the apple pie cider was DELICIOUS!!! They also had little games that you could play. This was relatively early in the day so it was pretty empty/quiet but I know it gets packed and busy just based off the vibes inside. 10/10 cider is AMAZING! Didn’t get any food tho so not sure what the food is like but those drinkssssss

Citizen Cider served up some great Hard Cider on our quick, but good visit to this establishment! We dropped by Citizen Cider on a weekend afternoon between 3 and 6pm, the establishment was not busy. We unfortunately did not grab food on this visit as we were on our way to another event where food would be served, so we settled on a flight of hard cider and an order of chips and queso dip for a quick visit. The flight we ordered was of the sweeter variety of ciders on tap and we enjoyed them immensely! We regret that we couldn't dine here, but considering we cannot give an honest recommendation on food, we can definitely recommend the hard cider!

Citizen Cider was on my Burlington bucket list. I must say the cider I've had before and it was even better fresh! The flights are a great way to try them all. The food was great as well. Usually the food isn't great if a place is known for drinks. The burger I got was delicious! Can't wait to come back.

Not quite done for the day, it's time for another round of drinks and food. Citizen Cider was open until 8 so when I got here in a rainstorm at 7, it was quiet. Still serving and happy for the business. I chose a pint of The Unified Press and an order of the Crispy Brussels, both of which arrived swiftly. The cider was semi-dry with just a bit of sweetness. A perfect nightcap. The Brussels sprouts was a big portion and half of it went into a to go box. But the first half, I enjoyed very much until it was closing time. This was a lovely way to end my day of exploring Burlington. Nice warm spot, friendly service and great eats/drinks. I am only bummed that they were sold out of their non-alcoholic The Clean Mayor to bring a pack back home to my wife.

We were planning to just grab a drink and then go somewhere else for dinner, but the menu here looked better than the one that was recommended. We shared the chicken sandwich and the poutine. I gave them 4 stars for food because the poutine was okay, although I wish it had more meat on it. The chicken sandwich was very good, though. Loved the vibe and atmosphere here.

Amazing little place if you’re looking to take a break from walking around Burlington. We really enjoyed the giving tree flight. Also recommend the watermelon mint feta appetizer.
